It was a pleasure presenting @corcoran_gw about hip-hop education in the k12 classroom. Looking forward to building our partnership between hip hop in the academy and public education. Respect to @dj_rbi & @bighapa75

It was great to reconnect with the @tmcf_hbcu BME fellows! Our Jan 2022 session allowed space for us to check-in on holiday & new year fun, continue our Fugitive Pedagogy book study, and engage professional learning on teaching male students. @MrSmithInspires @darylhowardphd

Research shows that having more teachers of color in a district boosts the performance of all students, no matter their race, and makes students of color feel a sense of belonging. Here are 4 changes schools can make to recruit and retain. https://t.co/KvKFmA3le2

From the personal to the social and the mental to the physical, learning & leading is what we do in the #BONDBoys Institute. Are you thinking of a young man to enroll in our program? If so, send them our way. There is always room for one more. https://t.co/uMmTPFA7Qi

“Do you want to be right or do you want to be effective?” I’m choosing to be effective! I needed to hear that. I’m positioning myself differently moving forward 💪🏾✊🏾@BONDEducators #BONDSummit
